St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-10-10
MONDAY GOSSIP.

Among the arrivals at the Ryan yesterday
was gentleman who has been dignifed by
the consideration of the United States senate
and principally on account of his utilization
with member of that body, Hon. A. P. Cor
MAN. The gentleman in question, MORRIS
A. THOMAS, was appointed Indian inspector
under the interior department., and this was
the signal for a general howl about spoils-
men being cared for by the administration.
After great deal of time and labor by the
senate Mr. MORRIS was confirmed by that
body, and he has since proven one of the
most capable men in the service. Knowing
his intimacy with the leading men of the
party in Maryland, representative of the
GLOBE interrogated Mr.. THOMAS yesterday
afternoon as to the outlook in the pending
campaign. First and foremost said Mr..
THOMAS, II want it distinctly understood
that l am not going home even to VOTE and
thus give my enemies and those Of the ad-
ministration an opportunity for
criticism. Besides, L do not
think my vote will be necessary
for we are not scared down home by this talk
about the Independents. This year the Re-
publicans are trifle stronger than they have
ever been before. and for the reason that
they are playing kite now with the kickers
for the tail. Hitherto the Republicans have

the boiling Democrats but now they have
accomplished this, and let us see what they
will do with it. The principal contest is for
the mayoralty at Baltimore, and Mr.. LATRoBE
will beat Mr.. BARTLETT by not less than
5000 majority. AS for the state ticket there
is no question about that, although an effort
is being made to work up a scare about the
strength of the new coalition, Senator Cor
MAN will bury his opponents as he has al
ways done. His only crime seems to be that
he is selfmade m an, and some of the old
timers are jealous of him because he was not
born with gold spoon in his mouth"

Another syndicate of English capitalists
has been formed, it is understood for the
purpose of making investment in mining
lands in Minnesota. There is no objection to
this action on the part or our English cous-
ing, for it is pretty certain that if they come
to the Northwest to inspect their proposed
purchase they will not want to leave it. and
there is room for all good people here.

One of the results of Col. PAT DoNAN's tour
of the West with his coterie of Southern
beauties, was witnessed at Louisville a few
nights ago. Miss CARRIE DUKE, one of the
most talented members of that group, was a
participant in concert and played the violin
in such an exquisite manner that she was ac-
cused of having been abroad, whereas she
was only inspired by her trip to Lake Mime
tonka.

Gov. L. K. CHURCH, of Dakota, was con-
spicuous during last evening in the RYAN
rotunda, where he was kept busy responding
to the salutations of his numerous friends
He found time to say that he had the Yank-
ton trustees just where he wanted them.
and did not propose to let up on them no
matter what forces were brought to bear
against him. Since he assumed the reins at
Bismarck Gov. CHURCH has proven himself
the right man for the position which he now
occupies, and his administration has been
marked with frmness and desire to benefit
the people with whom he has thus been
brought in contact. This has become patent
at last to those whom he found in authority.
and for the first time they are beginning to
appreciate that the new governor is not man
to be trifled with.

All doubt as to the presidential party has
been set at rest by the receipt of a telegram
from Col LAMONT, who gives the personnel
as follows: The president and Mrs. CLEvE-
LAND. the postmaster general and Mrs Villas,
WILSON S. BIssELL, DR.. j. D. BRYANT and the
sender of the message. He might have
added I'VE are seven,'' for that is just the
lucky number that will leave Madison at 8
O'Clock this morning for peaceable invasion
of the West and South
